Research direction
Read the AppStream Metadata Quickstart and compare the proposed org.electrum.electrum.metainfo.xml reference with Electrum's packaging layout. Add the application metainfo file so it is installed under /usr/share/metainfo or the corresponding XDG data path, and verify that it conforms to the freedesktop specification.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
Most GNU/Linux desktop environments like GNOME and KDE follow the freedesktop specification, which requires a appname.metainfo.xml file at /usr/share/metainfo or $XDG_DATA_HOME/metainfo to provide metainfo about the app, which will be picked by the software store app or the environment in general. It is considered good practice to add a metainfo or appdata file for a package distribution.
I made a metainfo file at flathub/org.electrum.electrum which can be used as a reference.
I am sure this has been brought up many times in the past, but I was not able to find it in the issue tracker.
NOTE: This is not a Flatpak related issue. It just happens that Flatpak builds require a metainfo or appdata file.
